Providing support and care to orphans and improving their emotional structure and their level of acceptance with daily routines
Providing support and care to orphans and improving their emotional situations and their level of acceptance with daily routines one of the orphan care home called Kingdom Life (Attridgville).
Kingdom Life Children’s Centre . A good-hearted woman resident in Atteridgeville realizing the urgent need for caring for the children in the area with no other place to go has established this home. Initially time and effort was invested in establishing, registering and organizing the affairs of the Home. The focus currently is to create better opportunities for the children to develop in a stable and caring environment, and to improve their life skills.
It is of paramount importance to us to render services and programs that is in the best interest of every individual child.Just as soon as you think you've seen the worst of cases, you come across yet another one. Abusers don't discriminate against colour, creed or age. Child Abuse is rife in South Africa and unfortunately not nearly enough is being done to protect the future of our country, the children. Government is shirking their responsibility when it comes to providing for destitute families therefore making it increasingly difficult for the poorest of the poor to survive.
